王义方是唐初泗州涟水县(今江苏涟水)人,他饱读诗书,后来被任命为晋王府参军。宰相魏徵很欣赏王义方的才华,想将妻侄女嫁给他,于是托人带话。按理说,王义方的官职不大,正需要在朝廷里找个靠山往上爬,而魏徵是当朝宰相,权高位重,这不正是求之不得的好机会吗?可是,让人不解的是,王义方很坚决地谢绝了这门亲事。 Wang Yifang is the early Tang Dynasty Sishui Lianshui County (now Jiangsu Lianshui) people, he was full of poetry, and later was appointed Jinwangfu join the army. Prime Minister Wei Zheng admired Wang Yifang’s talent, want to marry his wife and niece, so caretaker bring words. It stands to reason that Wang Yifang’s office is not large, is needed to find a backing in the court to climb, while Wei Zheng is the prime minister, the high priority, this is not a good opportunity for it? However, puzzling is that, Wang Yifang very decisively rejected this marriage.
